PROPOSAL: Add a priority queue implementation to the containers package. Specific modules will include Data.PQueue.Min, Data.PQueue.Max, and Data.PQueue.
I have not yet needed a priority queue for any application, so I have no specific technical opinion in this particular proposal. I would suggest that if you continue to receive relative silence on the topic, then it may not be a good candidate for the standard "containers" library, simply because a demand for it has not yet been demonstrated. (You can easily release it as a separate package anyway.) This, I hope, will be sufficient of a cue for anyone who _does_ care about PQs to speak up now! Regards, Malcolm
